Yesterday I upgraded my Gnome to 2.10 from ubuntu. Some things that I notice:

- Translations are incomplete (not many, but obvious ones like the main menu title). I guess this comes from Ubuntu modifications - these strings were already translated in the previous versions.

- The Mail-check applet has been removed. While I agree that mail-notification is much more fancy, I'm missing one important feature: I could use the old mailcheck applet to run "offlineimap" every 10 minutes. Now I havn't yet found a tool to do that as easily (especially with an easy option to trigger it manually and to suspend it from running)

On a related note: as much as I love offlineimap for its features, I hate it for its bugs. I think today, offlineimap has crashed like 20 times. A python program is not really expected to segfault, is it?

If the crashes were reproduceable, it would be easier. But that isn't the case, instead offlineimap is able to continue the sync where it left. I hope at least that it doesn't lose one mail at each crash...

Update: The crashes were due to the Tk frontend, I remember now. Its just the frontend that can't handle the exception gracefully... Also see #280692 (for the Tk problems) and #245309, [category: /en/linux | Permalink]
